A huge search involving the police helicopter, dog units and volunteer rescuers have been searching through the night for a "vulnerable lady" who went missing in Newton Abbot.

The Ashburton branch of the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team (DRST) said they were called in to join the search, in and around Decoy Country Park, at 2.20am this morning. Nearly four hours later the search was stood down when the missing woman was discovered to have attended a local hospital.
